Welcome to Charleston! The 25th tournament of the Tennis Tipping season. Read the rules and sign-up information and then decide to join!

Playing the game is simple:
- before the tournament start the qualifying and the main draw are made.
- if you're in the qualifying you send in your pick of day 1 matches in a PM to the person running the tournament (including the set ratios for each match) You also send the exact score of one chosen match by the person running the tournament as a tie-breaker. The result you get is used throughout the qualifying rounds
- main draw starts on Tuesday, all qualifiers and players directly into the main draw send their picks with set ratios and a tie-breaker score to the person running the game
- the results will be posted as soon as possible.
- you have to send your picks, before the first match of the day starts, if you send your picks late, then all the picks for the matches already started or finished won't be counted
- if a player doesn't not send picks in the first round of a tournament by the start of play, then a LL is replacing him in the draw (this does not apply in later rounds)
- a match will not count in case of a retirement, withdrawal, if a player is defaulted or any late schedule changes
- you get a point for each correctly predicted winner and a bonus point for the correctly predicted set ratio, the person running the game can decide if the set ratios get counted for a certain round (you're still obliged to send them), this depends on the number of matches, if there is a large number of matches played in one day, then set ratios might not get counted.

Notify me if you committed but do not see your name on the entry list after the commitments close. All picks should be sent by PM, in case if the board is down for more than 1 day, the tournament will be cancelled.

It is against the rules of the board. Don't post under another person's account. You will receive an infraction for this. Since you owned up, I will not suspend, but hopefully no further evidence is found, cause then you will be suspended from the board.

do you think a person who is not honest will tell you the right reason when he or she is found using other's ID to commit ?:lol:

if the password can be told others , then others can help sb. to send pm , then you not compete with one person , it must be two or more person ! though sb. said change the password , do you believe that can stop it ? laghting...

game master , please remember the person who helps the false and say more reasons than you . may be the next person who using other's id is come out. but next time, they will send pm only and not send posts because becoming more "clever".
do someone shame for helping the false ? don't say love chinese before changing your stupid opinion , ok ? don't desert chinese faces because of honest , ok ?

sorry to mess in but i saw the discussion and i know abt some previous discussions abt chineese players in tt and i have some advices for them:

1: first of all,try to read the english school book again.

2: if they're acting stupid, to be responsible for their acts and not moan abt it and accuse divers of discrimination.

3: read the grammar chapter again

4: also read their country specific rules and traditions abt integrity

5: try to figure out the meaning of the pronoun "some" that it doesn't mean "all" and it does not include every chineese poster here. but not to worry, i had the same problem when i said something abt some americans and all moaned abt offending their people, so it's a general issue of not understanding the abstract.

6: read some more and try to be empathetic with the situation and sympathetic with the manager who reported some issues abt some players and now that they're partially confirmed it's normal to be ironic.

7: try to learn how to behave before even playing tt ;)

8: read some more english books.

ps:aleksz was nice only to post those two suggestive pics ;)

u're right.Everyone should take responsibility for their acts.but when a unfriendly coment comes out i don't think it's right to keep silence

also read their country specific rules and traditions abt integrity

it should be for everyone.we'll be more careful for other's traditions,at the same time i think mine should be respected too

5: try to figure out the meaning of the pronoun "some" that it doesn't mean "all" and it does not include every chineese poster here. but not to worry, i had the same problem when i said something abt some americans and all moaned abt offending their people, so it's a general issue of not understanding the abstract.

6: read some more and try to be empathetic with the situation and sympathetic with the manager who reported some issues abt some players and now that they're partially confirmed it's normal to be ironic.

totally agree with u.If my words before was disrespectful,then i'm sorry,but everyone should stay calm too,not only the chinese

1: first of all,try to read the english school book again.

3: read the grammar chapter again

8: read some more english books.

:lol: these 3 are all the same story......we'll try to improve

but for other coments about this "Chinese TT batlle",i don't think it is necessary to response .u guys humiliate urself :help:

The fact that there are byes is the STUPID part. If we have alternates, they should be placed. Oh goodness gracious. This from the person who was grilling Aleksz on doing the right thing in Amelia. I shouldn't have expected any less.

matpaw was first ;)

maybe final is on Saturday? :confused:

tons of byes and I still can't play :rolleyes:

Apr 13th, 2008, 02:36 AM

A ton of people probably won't send picks tomorrow. Especially people who don't realize there's no qualifying. I think most players who are in the main draw aren't used to having to worry about sending until Tuesday :unsure:

MH0861

Apr 13th, 2008, 03:21 AM

Why don't we play a game of 'let everyone who needs to be let in to the draw in and begin play on monday like every other freaking sunday-ending tournament of the year' :confused:

I don't really get why this was organized this way (and I have a bye too :p )

you didn't like Beijing and Chinese,so you really needn't play Olympics Ok?? And other people who unfriendly to Beijing.
We Chinese do not welcome you.

His sig picture is to show that he does not agree with China's politics, it's a way of expressing his objection, you know?
As for the last paragraph of your post, whatever you're trying to say, it's funny :lol:

Ok, so :

Tomek alt 1
DanFan alt 2
Matpaw alt 3.

Matpaw alt 1
DanFan alt 2
Tomek alt 3

In the commitment order :)

tournies start never earlier with MD than monday, and it's even not needed as you made it a 2 day round, don't understand this choice. :o

Cause it's common sense that the tournament starts with the MD of the actual tournament?
It was even discussed before the season started, qualies were played over the weekend and then the md started with the md of the tournament.

SloKid

Apr 13th, 2008, 11:44 AM

It was pretty much agreed upon, why do you think the qualies were played over the weekend for the entire year? Not to mention that the main draws started with the actual WTA main draws for as long as this game has been around. :o Not to mention that often includes tourneys that start on Sundays, but only have a md match or two scheduled then, so the md there started on Monday at the earliest as well.

And possibly even include the people that were "late" to commit. I, for example, don't mind giving up my bye. :shrug.

Ok, today cancelled.

But they commited after the deadline, as Rik said, they are late so they are alts.
